DESCRIPTION
The 587B low profile (LP) series of 120 Volt AC surge suppressors is designed for
use by the OEM, the equipment installer and/or maintenance contractor. These
modules employ a three-stage, patented, solid state technology which was originally
developed for aerospace applications. This multistage TVS technology has proven
to be the most cost effective and reliable method in protecting sensitive electronic
equipment from over voltage transients.
This device, a unique low clamping voltage transient suppressor, is designed to protect
AC powered equipment from the 6,000 Volt peak open circuit voltage and 3,000 Amp
short circuit current as defined in ANSI/IEEE C62.41, Category B.
In addition, the 587B low profile series offers a high degree of protection against 120
VAC line noise. It is ideal for protecting 400 Volt rated components because the solid
state TVS technology assures that line-to-neutral voltages will not exceed 350 Volts.
While the modules are designed for transient voltage protection, the advanced
patented circuitry will also attenuate the amplitude and slow the rate of rise of high
frequency noise. The 587BxxxLP Modules include common mode and differential
mode low-pass filters which are effective in reducing interference from line to
equipment and are effective in reducing equipment generated noise to meet FCC,
VDE and CSA interference requirements.

TRANSIENT VOLTAGE THREAT
CONDITION
Figures 1 and 2 are photographs of digitized waveforms
showing the typical clamping action of a 15 ampere
module. A 12 ohm resistor is used to represent a 10 Amp
equipment load. The load is then subjected to the ANSI/
IEEE C62.41 Category B test conditions (6,000V/3,000A).
These photographs contrast the effect on equipment with
and without the protector.
